Damnn.. that's cool!

For me it's probably the GitHub figurine

I like it because it is truly a unique wonderful thing to put on my desk, not just a thing with some logo. And I'm sure it goes a lot further for GitHub's brand.

Also at OSCON Stack Overflow was giving away these "I am not a robot" stickers which were accompanied by a code you could associate with your account. The joke is that they see you IRL so you've proved once and for all that you're not a robot. I thought it was super clever.

I got a Samsung Galaxy tablet from a Google I/O conference as a giveaway. That was pretty awesome. I don't use it anymore, but at the time it was my first tablet.
